Someone had an off day

[obxWaMi]

We have had our 6 girls for about a month now. We usually get 4 eggs a day--occasionally 3, a few times 5. Today we got 4 as usual, but one of them was very tiny. I don't know exactly how old any of my girls are since they were given to us, but I know that the woman who gave them to us has lots of hens of all ages. Mabye if one of our girls is from her spring batch of chicks? Could it possibly be that one of the girls is just beginning to lay and this is a practice egg?

Could be you have one starting to lay or...stopping or...starting after a molt?
OR...like you said....A Bad Day!

any bantams in the bunch?

 

[obxWaMi]

Nope, no bantams.

I'm hoping for a beginner layer.

looks like a pullet egg to me - maybe she is trying to get things right

heh, pullet egg...i wish that could be so.

those might be what are referred to as 'egg farts'. usually a large egg followed by a small egg shortly after, or vise versa.

When I first saw your pic I was thinking "Wow! That's a huge egg!" Of course I was looking at the egg on the right....lol
